ThfnT’-“Uneomlortable Doctrine.’’
Bakersville, N. 0., July 23.
To the Editor of the News and Observer:
I recently noticed an article in your
paper which put, not only the County
Commissioners, but the good Methodist
and Baptist people as well, of Mitchell
county, in a false light before the public;
and believing that you are willing to
correct any false statements which you
have unwittingly made in your paper,
I feel it my duty to give you the facts as
they really are:
The County Commissioners made an
order for the Sheriff to keep the court
house closed against all business other
than that for which it was built, more
than a year ago, and before the highly
esteemed!?) Episcopal clergy ever came
to this place to preach. Their reason for
doing so was because at such gatherings
the windows were broken out, the fur
niture of the court house had been dam
aged and the court house otherwise in
jured.
But the sheriff had failed to carry out
the order to the letter, and when the
aforesaid highly esteemed*!?) Episcopal
clergymen came to the place and after
having preached in the churches of the
town, and had held up the members of
those churches in derision and denounc
ed them as hypocrites and otherwise abus
ed them to such an extent that they con
cluded that hospitality (of that kind at
least) had ceased to be a virtue, and
closed their doors against the aforesaid
highly esteemed clergymen. Then the
court house doors were thrown open to
them and they were allowed to preach
in the court house unmolested, giving
vent to all the spleen that the devil
could prompt against the churches and
clergy of this section until some of the
good citizens complained to the sheriff
that they thought it unjust that the peo
ple had been taxed to build a house in
which they are to be thus publicly
abused, and the sheriff called the atten
tion of the county commissioners to the
matter, and the commissioners said that
they had upon investigation found
the court house to be unsafe,
and from recent development was
liable to collapse and must be
repaired and therefore directed the
sheriff to enforce the order which was
made before the preachers of “uncom
fortable doctrine'’ ever came to Bakers
ville.
The order closes the court house doors
as effectually against the Methodists and
Baptists and all other public gatherings
(except for the transaction of public bus
iness) as it does against the Episcopa
lians.
The Baptists have always been the
champions of religious liberty, and the
Baptists and Methodists of Mitchell county
are no exceptions to the rule, and none
of them object to Episcopal ministers
coming here and preaching the doctrines
of their church, but they do object to
them calling the Methodist and Baptist
ministers of this county “liars, whore
mongers and low down, contemptible
scoundrels, so mean that heaven will not
have them and the devil don’t want
them, and there will have to be a new
and worse hell created to put them in.”
Now the people of Mitchell county
don’t believe such slang to be Episcopal
doctrine; though we plead guilty to the
charge of ignorance, we are not natural
fools and we don’t believe the masses of
the members of the Episcopal church are
fools, and if they will send a minister to
preach to us who is not a blackguard we
will treat him with the utmost courtesy,
just as we did Mr. James so long as he
would allow us to do so.
Now these are the facts in the case
w ithout any attempt to paint or magnify
them, and in justice to thefeiple of
Mitchell county I hope you will give
them to the public.

OXFORD AND FIRST HONOR MEN.
A Scholarship for Any Town That Bat
More—A Prize Tor the Best Explana
tion ol the Town’s Pre-Eminence.
Oxford has long ranked as one of the
leading educational centres of the State,
and now a bold challenge is made to the
State in which a scholarship at the Hor
ner School, worth #250, is offered to any
town or city in the State that has fur
nished more first-honor graduates at the
University, Davidson, Trinity and Wake
Forest Colleges, during the last three
years, Oxford.
Further, the Horner School offers a
scholarship, giving all the college fees
free, at any college in the State to the
school that has furnished more honor
men at these colleges than the Horner
School. There are cities in the State
with five or ten times the- population of
Oxford and schools with four or five
times the number of students of the
Horner. Can they afford to let the
claim go unchallenged ?
The Horcer School offers a prize of
1150 for the best satisfactory explana
tion of this pre-eminence on the part of
Oxford, written by a boy under 14 years
of age. The terms and conditions of
the contest can be learned by writing to
the Horner School.
Silver, Cotton and Wheat.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. W. H. West, of Okolona, Ark.,
writes to the Constitution as follows :
Editor Constitution—Why is it that
the price of silver bullion governs the
price of cotton and wheat ?—a proposi
tion that statistics prove to be true for
the last twenty years. But why is it
so?
It is very simple. The wheat and
cotton grown in British India compete in
the English markets with the wheat
and cutton produced in the United
States. The wheat and cotton of British
India is purchosed with and moved out
of that country by means of silver cur
rency. It is only among the British
residents in the seaport towns of India
that the purchasing power of the silver
rupee has depreciated. Among the great
mass of the population of British India
silver has not depreciated in the slight
est degree. A rupee will purchase as
much now as it would when the market
value of the metal was #l3l. An ounce
of silver would purchase a bushel of
wheat in that county in 1873 and it will
purchase a bushel of wheat in that
country- now. An ounce of silver would
purchase ten pounds of cotton in British
India in 1873, and it will purchase ten
pounds of cotton in that country to-day.
The result of this is that when the
wheat and cotton growers ol this coun
try send their products abroad, they are
compelled to take the equivalent of an
ounce of silver for a bushel of wheat and
for ten pounds of cotton. It has, there
fore, been the policy of England to de
preciate the commercial value of silver.
Why ? In order to get cheaper wheat for
her pauper workingmen, and cheap cot
ton for their manufactories.
The commercial value of silver meas
ures the price of wheat and cotton for
the simple reason that the producers of
wheat and cotton in British India can
sell a bushel of one and ten pounds of
the other for an ounce of silver and
pocket as much money as they ever did.
And this is one of the reasons why the
policy of this country should run counter
to the policy of Great Britain—one of
the reasons why the people of the United
States should place their influence be
hind silver and legislate to increase the
demand for it as money and thereby in
crease its value.

Why Does a Fellow- Get Yellow?
You needn’t mail an answer to this
simple conundrum. We know that yon
know that a fellow—we use the term in
no offensive sense—is yellow because he
is bilious. In other words, his liver has
got ont of order, his bowels have become
constipated. His skin and eyeballs as
sume (a most unwarrantable assumption)
a Saffron tiDge, his tongue puts on a
coat of fur, even in the summertime;
beneuth his right shoulder blade and
ribs twinges remind him that a very
restless imp is in their immediate vicin
ity. Now, if this hapless individual will
simply procure and use at once Hoetet
ter’s Stomach Bitters he’ll be all right
shortly. Constipation, biliousness, ma
laria, indigestion, rheumatism, neural
gia and disorder of the kidneys and
bladder all yield to this peerless family
remedy and preventive. Use it promptly,
with persistence and regularity. A wine
